Hihi. On Wednesday night my aunt asked me if I wanted to go to an art show. It sounded like something fun to do after work, so we headed over to the Garboushian Gallery in BH. It turned out to be a fundraiser for the Orran foundation. The organization's mission is to create a haven or safe place for children in the city of Yerevan, Armenia. The goal is to get kids off the street and engage them in cultural and academic activities. You can learn about the organization here. Half the proceeds from the art sold went to the organization. I thought it was a great event. It was fun and for a great cause.

Hihi. It's been awhile since I've done an I want Wednesday post. I've been thinking about this coat for two weeks. It's a bit pricey, but I tried it on at the store and it fit me like a glove. I'm a smaller human so finding coats that fit well is usually a challenge. Selling points: it's a classic coat that won't go out of style and it's 25% off with the code SHOPNOW.

Hihi. I've been wanting to go wine tasting since college. I've also been meaning to visit my friends in the bay. I finally got a chance to do both last weekend! We ended up going to two wineries in Napa, Domaine Carneros and VSattui. We went to Domaine Carneros first and it was gorgeous. We got really lucky because the weather was perfect. The winery specializes in sparkling wine, aka champagne. It was super yummy. I'm really sad I didn't get a chance to take pictures at the second winery. V Sattui had a super cute picnic area where you could get barbecue and a small shop where you could get cheese and bread. I got bbq pork ribs and potato salad and it was sooooooooooooo good. Then we went inside and tasted like 100 wines. If you've never gone wine tasting I suggest both places!
